People. Partnership. Performance.
Our goal is to advance living-wage job creation and business development opportunities in Pierce County with a focus on marine trade and transportation. The Port's real estate and marine cargo operation support more than 42,100 jobs and generate nearly $3 billion in economic activity annually.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance
Formed in 2015 as a result of competition from other local ports, the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma merged all marine cargo operations and formed The Northwest Seaport Alliance. Today, the NWSA is the fourth-largest container gateway in the United States and a key economic transport hub. The NWSA offers shorter U.S.-to-Asia transits, as well as a deep connection to Alaska and Hawaii. Some of the top international trading partners include China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and many more ports across the world.
